That means considering usability and aesthetics(sp). Not just function, but the way it looks and how it is used. I find both are important.
My guests are definately not sitting on beanbags because of where our fruniture is placed its because we don't have enough seats in the TV room and I didn't add another sofa although we could have fitted it because it would have looked cramped and not suited the space. Thats whereI am coming from, in the feel of a room. Not sure if that makes sense but thatswhat I was trying to explain. Sorry for hijacking your thread Sharee.

Yep, polar opposites. I would have added the extra sofa! I guess just another variable in the house mix. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.

Re: Help me choose my lounge suite pleeeease!! 33Sep 14, 2008 8:07 pm It is an interesting discussion, it is a balancing act, I wouldn't be happy with an unusable space but neither with an area I didn't like the look of BUT on that topic pleeease check out this idea, do you thing this will work? The the middle square thing will be a funky ottoman (do you think square is the go or maybe I should get a rectangle?) , the couches would be a distance from the tv, but we have a pretty big telly so should be ok? what do you guys think?

Just kidding I like the rectangle as it can actually be added to you sofa to create a chaise or you can get a hard placemat or table runner and put it on your ottoman so you can use it as a coffee table and it feels more balanced to me. I would run it the width of the largest piece of furniture. I also like the rectangle because more than 1 person can use it comfortably. Re: Help me choose my lounge suite pleeeease!! 36Sep 15, 2008 8:05 pm Sorry Sharee, I think that looks odd.
I still think the chaise will fit the room better. Jo - You say a chaise is usless unless you can see the telly, think about being able to stretch out on it to watch the telly. If your having enough visitors over to have to use the chaise, my guess is your having drinks and conversation not watching the telly.( unless its the footy ) Paula Re: Help me choose my lounge suite pleeeease!! 37Sep 15, 2008 8:09 pm I had a play with this the other day….tried to save my selection so I could show you…but it saved a blank page , great program!
I had a chaise and an arm chair in the corner.

PK was suggesting putting the two seater under the window facing out towards the rest of the house... this I was saying would be useless for watching TV.. not the chaise... I couldn't, and still can't, see the point of having an entire couch in a TV room that you can't see the TV from just because it looks good.. But love the chaise!
